LADY EAGLES WIN 4th STRAIGHT REGION CROSS COUNTRY TITLE

The Coosa High Lady Eagles cross-country team won a region championship title for the fourth year in a row Wednesday at the Region 7-AA meet at Georgia Highlands College. The team was led by sisters, Alena and Kirstin Holmes, as both placed in the top 6 to qualify for state. Alena is a senior and Kirstin is a sophomore at Coosa High. It was an incredibly close competition as the Lady Eagles took first place by a single point and only three points separated the top three teams.

The team just made the required number of runners to qualify for the team title with five. The Lady Eagles also received important contributions from Joanna Mullenax, a senior; Mary Corbin, a sophomore; and Erika LeClear, a freshman; to secure the team title. The girls will now prepare for the State Meet to be held November 9 in Carrollton.

The team was led by coaches Candi Cole and Ricky Riordan. "This season hasn't been easy and the girls have trained hard to reach their goals," stated Cole. "I'm overwhelmingly proud of them and their achievement!"

The Coosa High School girls' Cross Country dominated this year's region meet at Georgia Highland's college to secure their 3rd consecutive region title. With five Lady Eagles finishing in the top 11 out of 35 runners, it’s no wonder this bunch was able to hold on to the title.
The list included Kirstin Holmes (who posted a time of 21:53.77 to finish 4th), Alena Holmes (22:17.02; 6th), Mary Corbin (22:39.06; 7th), Joanna Mullenax (22:41.65; 8th) and Elizabeth Mullenax (22:53.36; 11th).
Their efforts were awarded not only by a championship trophy and a trip to state, but also by the pride of their coach, Candi Cole. This year's team includes 2 sets of sisters. Rebecca, Elizabeth, and Joanna Mullinax along with Alena and Kirstin Holmes, higlight a squad which also includes Junior Mary Corbin, the 7th place finisher in this year's meet. Corbin finished 3rd highest for the Eagles.
“I feel like they went out there and gave it their all. They’ve been preparing for this all season, and I think they did really good,” said Cole."We're very excited about preparing for our State Meet, held in Carrolton next Saturday, and we plan to put in long hours all next week to up our workouts and prepare ourselves for the State Meet "Cross Country Schedule 2012.pdf
